So the intermediate product has double the precision of the original
arguments.
er yes exactly, but since xsd::integer/xsd:decimal are high (and in some
implementations arbitrary) precision, doubling the precision is not
exactly relevant. If you do the multiply first it _wont_ overflow it
will just eat your entire memory storing a gazillion digits (perhaps)
